 Hi Friend,

Happy Halloween! 

Today, I'm putting out a few Halloween decoration for the kids, most of the items are thrifted I have a few Vintage pieces, so I thought I would share my small collection.

I am always on the look out for vintage  seasonal décor This year I found a package of Eureka - Beistle felt cats (1960) which was a exciting find

I have collected two of Robert Alan taper candles, unfortunately, (the tapered part was broken) still cute.  A few little scarecrows, a vintage looking cat bucket, pez witch, sparkly witch shoe, etc.

I wasn't sure about the purchase of the cloth cat, but I added it with the rest of my Halloween cat collection.

Thank you so much for checking in, So... until next post.

A Little Thrift Haul From my Local Store - Looking for Vintage Holiday Décor

Hi Friends,

Another haul I'm looking for vintage Halloween or Thanksgiving items. I'm not finding what I'm looking for however, I did come home yesterday with a few items I thought I must have.

The little crocks will go nicely with some of my other crocks. 

I was so glad to find the Avon turkey bottle for $1.00. 

The twig wreath I'm thinking might be added to my fall/harvest décor some where not sure yet.

 As you can see I found a home crochet dish towel hanger which is so unique.   

Hey! Check out the Halloween Jack-o-lantern pail I found, it has a mark of 1997 Grand Adventure blow mold who would have figured, I was so surprised!

 I'm putting this jack-o-lantern in my Halloween décor.

I also found quite a few bundles of autumn color florals for my fall/harvest décor,(not that I probably have to many, lol) that I will be adding to the sunflowers I already have out.

Look at this awesome picture frame! I'll probably add antiquing wax to age it more, not sure.

I found a vintage looking plater it wasn't vintage thought, I still think it will look nice on the shelf above my kitchen cabinets

 

A nice red trimmed tray, I'm thinking of stenciling or deco-podge a Santa on it.  The little rocking horse and horse shoe stand I'll be used for Christmas.

*****

This old looking frame caught my eye, I'm thinking about putting this frame in my spare bedroom.

Thank you for stopping by to see the treasures I found this week while thrifting.

So until the next time...

Happy October! Here's a Halloween Dollar Tree Haul

I stopped by the Dollar tree today and look what I found!There were so many awesome things I just couldn't help myself.  I think this has been the largest Dollar Tree haul I have ever purchased.

I picked up the ceramic figurines and the multi colored googly eyes for some fun October activities.  I've see some You-Tubers hauling the Harvest Blessings and Harvest sign so I was excited to find them at my Dollar Tree Store.  As you can see I also purchased 2 large and 2 small vine wreaths to hang on doors in my house, not sure if I'll add any greenery to them.

I've never notice my Dollar Tree Store having so many of these magnet sheets before, I just had to get all of the styles.  And of course I never can have enough treat bags, at work I hand out treat bag to the kids in the classroom I work in.

Here I found more items to use as fun October craft activities for the grand kids.  I found some really cute Jack-o-lantern lights strings.

Lastly, I found these very cute evergreen tree garland for hanging cards from along with a few items to use in my everyday house decor.

I hope this inspires you for some fun items to decorate you home for Halloween.

Have a Great Day!

Cooler days, full moon, It's October! Changing my Outside Decor

 

Right by the front door sits the headless scare crow, his head vibrates and the eyes blink, and holding our carved pumpkins this year is my great aunt Rosie's' wheelbarrow.

Purple spider patiently eating her prey

Headless scarecrow at night quite scary.

Here is my spooky eye ball wreath I made a couple of years ago.

Thank you for stopping by, and catching up with me.

God Bless you, Vicki a Colorado Junkett

Halloween project

I was surfing my favorite blogs last week and found a couple of really cool wreath I thought I’d tried to make before Halloween.

As you know I’m a little frugal. I look through my craft stuff and wasn’t able to find a wreath I could reuse.

So I went to the Budget Center (our Good Will) and purchased two different grapevine wreaths for $5

I had some gogglely eyes and 2” styro-foam balls in my Halloween craft box and cut them in half and glued to the wreath painted the styro-foam ball base with Americana glow in the dark acrylic paint and around the eyes with Delta lime sorbet acrylic paint. 

I found some white and glow in the dark green webbing and some spider rings, also from my Halloween craft box and a beany bag spider to tie in the middle .

I surprised my self I think it turned out great!

Have a Great Day!

Happy Halloween

The kids have been so excited about getting their costume together they have been working on them for weeks.

Of course you know here in Northwest Colorado, you have to build your costume over the long underwear coats and boots.

Liz dressed up as Dorothy and Dameon as the Tin Man, Robert went as the Grim Reaper (always a favorite in our bunch) Angela and her three girlfriends dressed up like Fairies, with wings pink tights and a wand, I really didn't think they would dress-up.
I'm so sorry I don't have pictures. I thought I took some but can't find them in my picture file

Wayt and I answered the door and gave out candy to all the goblins.

The kids had a great time. Mother Nature held off a couple of days before it started snowing.

Have a Great Day!

The Great Pumkin project

The Halloween excitement is starting to escalate in the house! Liz bought some gel windows clings that spell out "Happy Halloween" and "Boo Boo Boo". I 've been trying to put out a few Halloween and Fall Decorations. The Angela her friends have been going through the Halloween costume box trying to figure out what there costume is going to be this year.

I picked up pumpkins to carve. I really don't think Dameon knew what was going with all the seeds and the gooey stuff. This is really Dameon's first year doing this project. He's 23 months in these pictures.

I think the whole family had a good time.

Have a Great Day!
